there's rampant violation of the law. there is lackluster enforcement, families are torn apart, and what's before us regardless of the merits which we'll get into in a moment, clearly does not address the problems in our immigration system. whether this bill becomes law or not, our immigration system will continue to have problems or will continue to be over 10 million people here in violation of the law, many working illegally. in some cases taking jobs away from american citizens. so instead of a solution, we have a bill before us that asks taos weigh two goals of our immigration policy, in many ways against one another. now, there might very well be room for a noncontroversial immigration bill that catches up and includes some of the less controversial provisions including a stem program and there could very well be room for that sort of comprehensive imdepration reform and i support and am a co-spon so far -- co-sponsor of the idea act which does that. i tried to amend into this bill, allow for the consideration of th
